WELLINGTON ZOO: A PHOTOGRAPHIC JOURNEY
The Otter

PIC6 The Asian Small Clawed Otter, found in many zoos around Australia, is an excellent choice for a zoo exhibit. Small, they don't need an awful lot of room. Social and active, they provide entertainment for viewers; kids love them. Their needs are esily met in zoos and they provide ready material for education. Though not endangered, they are vulnerable to habitat destruction. Otters can be seen at Melbourne, Taronga, Adelaide, Wellington, The Australia Zoo and Underwater World on the Sunshine Coast Queensland.
